Design surveillance coverage for security risk forecasting that supports investigation.
Building Models to Forecast Future Security Risk
An applied course in security risk forecasting built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
The value of preparation for security risk forecasting is only visible on the day it is needed. Security arrangements around this aspect of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around the corporate security practice discipline reduces downstream rework. The programme works equally well for those formalising security risk forecasting for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this aspect of corporate security practice and under-invest in testing it. Participants finish able to explain this part of corporate security practice to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The course sets out a working method for security risk forecasting that participants can apply the week they return. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider corporate security practice agenda and prepares them for it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the corporate security practice capability broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
